There's a whole slew of issues that arise when comparing sc2 and LoL, given that they're different games (one has a much higher drawing power due to the team aspect) and they're owned by different companies, one of which has a habit of throwing money out in an attempt to draw attention to it (which has evidently worked).
It's very hard for me to understand why people are expecting the same reaction from two different companies when one of them caters to smaller audience that doesn't have the same marketing appeal as the other game.

Whilst I can understand that it's frustrating being stuck in a "if blizz don't give us money we don't get attention so we have less players so blizz doesn't give us money ..." cycle, but in the scheme of things, Blizzard are company that have to prove they are doing the right thing for their share-holders and whilst it'd be fantastic at our level for ten grand to be thrown into every ACL, it's easy to understand why it isn't.

There's way too many people looking at this from one side of the argument. I know it sucks that Blizzard didn't give us WCS this year and I know it sucks that Riot is giving smaller tournaments financial support, but I can see why Blizzard might be acting the way they are.

If anyone here can find the spare money in Blizzard's budget, I'm sure Blizzard would love for you to tell them because chances are they want just that, too. If, however, you can't conjure up the cash, don't be surprised that they can't, either.
